Abstract

The project NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) is aimed to study dense baryonic matter in heavy-ion collisions in the energy range up to

GeV with average luminosity of L = 10²⁷ cm^-2s^-1 (for ¹⁹⁷Au⁷⁹). The experimental program at the NICA collider will be performed with the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD). We report on the main physics objectives of the NICA heavy-ion program and present the main detector components.
